Teachers Strike in Los Angeles as thousands take to the streets in protest of reforms

Some 30,000 striking Los Angeles teachers demanding higher pay, smaller classes and more support staff from the nation’s second-largest school district walked picket lines for a second day on Tuesday, with no new talks on the horizon.

Negotiators for the Los Angeles Unified School District and the United Teachers Los Angeles have not met since union leaders rejected the LAUSD’s latest contract offer on Friday night, calling the proposal an “insult.”
